Off to a great start to the thread, I see.

Making this gameplay related again... I just 1CC'ed Imperishable Night! Both with the Netherworld Team for Branch B and the Border team with Branch A.


The strangest thing happened when I 1CC'ed with Reimu+Yukari though. I got "Normal Ending A: Try clearing the game without using continues" even though I definitely didn't use any (Since I was able to save my replay at the end of the playthrough). Is this normal?

[Anonymous No.]

>>20666914
Normal endings are when you beat Eirin, good endings are when you beat Kaguya and I believe both do not check if you used continues or not at the end of the run. If your stage 6 was Eirin and you still 1cced then it's still a valid 1cc. The only time I believe IN checks if you've used a continue or not is at the end of stage 5, if you've beaten both 6A and 6B then you're given a choice of either one, if you've used a continue though you get defaulted to eirin.

[Anonymous No.]

>>20666942
Well technically 6B is just a 1cc check in itself, failing just gives you a bad ending and no chance to continue.
Wouldn't be surprised if 6A doesn't check for 1cc though and just assumes you used a continue even though you didn't.

Also managed to 1cc EoSD finally

It just upscales the window; the game is still 640x480 so that's what taking in-game screenshots gives you. The higher resolution textures didn't come along until DDC.

[Anonymous No.]

>>20682864
Ah, I've never used the in-game screenshot function, I usually take screenshots some other way. Just assumed they'd come out upscaled too.

After a day in spell practice, Mokou is beaten! Believe it or not, I can do most of her spells without bombs, but I used multiple ones for "Possessed by Phoenix" and her last spell. Is it normal that I still can't get past stage 3 lunatic without using bombs though ?

We do. ZUN said in the 100th Nikenme stream that the next game would be a decimal game starring a character we've never played before. So it's not gonna be ISC 2 or GFW 2 or even another Aya game. It's going to release this Summer Comiket. Oh and, in other news, he's going to release his older games, starting with LoLK, DDC and TD on Steam.

[Anonymous No.]

After playing TD more than I thought I would ever want to, I've come to the conclusion that Seiga is the easiest stage 4 boss. I think I've used more bombs on Kyouko than her on Hard.

>>20683570
>Is it normal that I still can't get past stage 3 lunatic without using bombs though ?
Yes. Extra is usually somewhere between Normal and Hard on difficulty. I've heard that IN Lunatic is pretty hard as well but I've only played it up to Stage 3.

[Anonymous No.]

>>20682491
Reminder that ZUN has never used the written material for plot in any of the main games. It's only ever to promote them after they've already been announced or for spin-offs like the fighters.

[Anonymous No.]

>>20686011
TD in general is actually fairly easy pattern wise, the difficulty wise comes from the resource shortage.

[Anonymous No.]

>>20686106
>the difficulty wise comes from the resource shortage.
This and the fact that if you want to get extra lives or bombs you're sort of forced to go to the top of the screen, which is where most bullets are

[Anonymous No.]

>>20685958
Fuck off, OP.

[Anonymous No.]

>>20686106
I haven't had much problems with resource shortage in Normal, I can max out my bombs and almost max out lives which is enough for me to easily beat Miko with about 5 lives left over.
It is definitely an issue in Extra, along with Mamizou's bullshit spellcards.

WaHH foreshadowed HSiFS though.

First IN Nether team 1cc on Hard, FinalB.

Had to spend some spell practice on Marisa, feels so fucking good dodging Asteroid Belt and her giant fucking lasers.
Got Final Spark on the last available second, was max hype.

Too bad I failed literally every one of Kaguya's spells.

[Anonymous No.]

>>20686607
Congrats! I found the jump from normal to hard actually noticeable compared to PCB where it's basically the same exact thing. Marisa for example becomes a little bit more of a nightmare, for me.

ZUN had already announced HSiFS on his blog before anything in WaHH started referencing it.

Not the guy you replied to, but yeah, Marisa can be a little tough to beat on hard. Especially her non-spells.

[Anonymous No.]

>>20686776
>>20686791
Maria used to be a nightmare and the biggest run killer, but once you can get Asteroid Belt I found that dodging her in-betweens got much easier.
I like how you're basically always on the move, and at least for me, doing little circles around her stars to get to the next safe space.

Might work on Magic team 1cc since Reimu is also cool to watch her screen wrap all over the place, but for now it's Extra time
I really like stage 4

I purchased Hidden Star in Four Seasons today. Made it to stage 6 until I had to continue, then i finished the game. I just need to practise stages 4 and 5 (The crazy backup dancers gave me a lot of trouble) and then I think I'll be to get my 1CC. Okina Matara was a fun fight, and I enjoyed her use of all the seasons in her spellcards. Amazing theme too. Looking forward to trying out all the characters with different sub-weapons

HSiFS is amazingly fun. Tons of replay value. You can make it easy for yourself by spamming releases but the relatively difficult spell cards from stage 4 after kind of balance that if you don't go too crazy with releases.

Jokes aside, this extra stage is the easiest I played so far (Th06, Th07, Th08), simply due to how many lives/bombs you get. Slightly harder without homing shots.

>>20690863
Nice job Anon!

[Anonymous No.]

I was looking a bit around to see what are considered to be the hardest games out there (to lunatic no bomb) and LoLK, UFO and EoSD usually come out on top. I can understand LoLK and UFO, but why EoSD ? Apart from Sakuya and Patche (with some shot types more than others), it didn't seem too difficult for me on hard. Is there really such a difficulty spike in lunatic ? What is y'all's opinion on the difficulty matter ?

[Anonymous No.]

>>20691595
I think EoSD is hard to LNN because Remi has some diceroll patterns that make her more inconsistent than most stage 6 bosses. If you're just doing LNB it's not that hard, hell it's probably one of the easier ones.

[Anonymous No.]

>>20691595
My guess is that people might rank EoSD higher on difficulty because it's the first game in the series a large portion of the playerbase played.

[Anonymous No.]

>>20691835
Just didn't know what shipping method you went with. I ordered some stuff from Japan around the same time as you but via EMS and got an "out for delivery" notification a bit before I asked if you got your parcel yet, which is what made me curious. Not too surprising that a SAL order wouldn't be there by now, think the fastest I've ever gotten a SAL parcel from Japan was like 2 weeks or something, and I feel like my country has much better shipping routes with Japan.

[Anonymous No.]

>>20691867
I see. Well I'm not worried in the least since the package is supposedly insured and it wasn't expensive anyway. If all goes well I already laid my eyes on a couple of small figures, and also I'd like to get a few other games (th06, th08, th10). Thank you for making me discover that store by the way.

[Anonymous No.]

>>20691898
Yeah registered SAL is fine if you're not impatient, I've never actually had a problem with it, just usually go for EMS if whatever I'm ordering is expensive enough for the higher cost to seem less like pissing money away.

>Thank you for making me discover that store by the way.

Anyone using Nvidia to run their 2hu games? Mind sharing your Nvidia settings with me? Vpatch doesn't work and I'm using Windows 10.

[Anonymous No.]

>>20691595
EoSD is only one of the hardest games if you're going for LNN.

Yes, there's a large jump in difficulty from Hard to Lunatic. EoSD Hard is barely harder than Normal in terms of how much raw skill you need to be able to reliably capture patterns in it. Lunatic on the other hand has quite a few patterns with extremely high skill barriers of entry if you want to capture them somewhat consistently. Honestly, the easiest way to see the difference is to try them yourself. Play the hard versions of any of these patterns at max rank and then try the Lunatic ones and you'll quickly notice how much more inconsistent you'll be on the Lunatic variants due to the randomness. Dream Vine, Colorful Light, Color Typhoon, Books, Emerald Megalith, Sakuya Nons, KD, YDL, VI, Meister and SG.

I transported 2hu games from my old laptop(Windows 8) to my new one. I apply the vpatch in exactly the same way as I did in my previous laptop. It works fine in my old laptop, but it drops from 60fps to 40fps whenever I play SA on my new laptop. SA works fine if I play the SA without vpatch on my Intel graphic card tho. So I suspect it’s a graphic card problem. Should I re-download the game?

Went from being a shump agnostic secondary to 1CCing IN on Lunatic (ending B) in bit over three months, would take one less if I wasn't autistic about capturing Venomous Dark Moth's Dance. That helped me git gud but I still had to come up with bunch of gimmicks to make up for lack of skill. Looking for blind spots and ways to stream stuff and finding them was probably most fun part of the game.

Hourai Jewel is a nightmare when the static part of it gets wiped. No idea how to recover there.

Sorry for blog but going from getting smacked by Wriggle to a proper 1CC was a journey.

I know all her spell cards and they aren't that difficult but if you fuck up EVEN ONCE your position is completely out of whack due to waiting out the bomb and especially if you're youkai you're moving too damn slow and it makes some spells literally impossible to recover from.

If I choke on Volcano it takes at least two more bombs to get me back into a position where I don't just immediately die.
One little choke is so damn punishing, I just want to unlock her final final card dammit.

What you're suggesting is bad advice actually. Every Touhou game is solved and good routes and strategies for Spell Cards already exist. Anyone new to the games is better off learning a strategy that they know works rather than trying to figure something out which is likely worse in the long run.

I think how much of a puzzle game it is varies by release. I know there's an audience for IWBTG-like trial and error, but I don't like it much and kind of try to avoid practice-grinding for that reason.

Hey I'm like a thousand year late but if the input lag concern the later games, fiddling with the "input method" (switch to fastest) in config.exe might do the trick.
I had issues with bad framerate too ; turns out I just forgot to download the 32bit mesa drivers for my GPU.
Also, to remap the keyboard to play with WASD or something, I recommend checking out xmodmap.

If anyone has issues with Touhou on Linux, hit me up. I can't promise anything but I want to help because not having to touch windows ever again is too good.

Do you:
-know how to stream bullets?
-use bombs properly?
-practice enough to memorize stages and bullet patterns?
-practice some more?
Literally just practice. Do you care about being good at the game ? If the answer is yes then just sink time in it, actively trying to get better, consciously thinking about what you can improve. What do the pros do that you don't ? You might not be able to dodge with their precision but perhaps you can copy their positioning / routes. I'm sure you can manage normal difficulty.

I have been practicing, and I'm pretty sure that answer to your first two questions is yes. I don't actually mind putting the time in, I just would have expected to be able to 1cc the game on normal by this point. 50 hours seems like a long time to still not be able to do that. I figure most people are probably able to pull out a normal 1cc before that.

[Anonymous No.]

start on an easier game like IN, you get tons of bombs, the deathbombing is quite lenient, and there isn't much RNG (except kaguya)

[Anonymous No.]

>>20737957
I've already put enough time into HSiFS that I feel like switching to something else now is basically giving up. Plus I've gotten to Okina a few times on 1 credit, so I feel like I'm capable of getting the 1cc eventually. I think I'm mostly just disappointed in how inconsistent my level of play is from session to session, and how many dumb mistakes I make.

[Anonymous No.]

>>20738001
If you can get to Okina you're almost there! What I've found can be helpful is playing for a bit on a harder difficulty, then switching down. Normal will feel like a breeze. Beyond that, what >>20737476 is all right. Just keep practicing, you'll get the 1cc eventually!

it isn't just you. i still feel exactly the same way a lot of the time, and a couple lnbs haven't changed shit.

just try to keep your sessions focused. take a break if you're frustrated or if you get inattentive from grinding too long. and remember that this is supposed to be tough: that's a big part of what makes it rewarding. you're only not cut out for it if you dislike dodging bullets.

Touhou is the very concept of "easy to play, hard to master". Except you replace "hard" by "pain-stakingly difficult".

[Anonymous No.]

>I've already put enough time into HSiFS that I feel like switching to something else now is basically giving up.
When it comes to Touhou, that's the exact train of thought you DON'T want to have. If anything, switching games might actually favor you in the long run since it allows you to take a breather from a certain type of patterns and forges your mind to be more adaptive.
>how inconsistent my level of play is from session to session
That's the famous tilt. If you are doing way more than usual, it's the sign that you need to take a big bowl of fresh air. Getting good at Touhou is pretty much the same as doing workout: trying hard is nice and all, but the muscle actually develops during rest. Try hard, take a nice long relaxing break, then try hard again.

Been a while since I posted here; I've had a really hard time building up the motivation to practice. Took the time to play a couple hours today at least, and it went about as miserably as ever. Can hardly get a 20% clear for Heien's Reverberation, which would of course be lower in actual play due to nerves. I can't tell if I'm focusing too much on the micrododging or too much on the macrododging, because I feel I always get fucked by whatever aspect I'm not paying attention to on each individual practice attempt, either missing a gap while looking at larger-scale upcoming openings, or getting cornered because I focused too hard on an individual wave coming up and having to dodge 2-3 at the same time as a result. The everpresent feeling of failure just eats away at me and causes me to neglect the game because of a desire to avoid more of that feeling. I know it'll all be worth it when I get that NB clear, but it often seems hopeless.

I think I put more than 100 hours into EoSD before I got a 1cc, and then all the 1ccs after that fell like a stack of dominos with only 10-20 hours of play between them until I got to the one-two punch that is Subterranean Animism and Undefined Fantastic Object and it was reminded that I am not hot shit after all.

Yeah that anon is exaggerating, SA is not THAT hard but it's definitely noticeably harder than EoSD, PCB, IN or MoF.
Playing SA and UFO after clearing the previous ones has made me feel like I'm shit again but I know that'll make the "all clear" even more satisfying.
Though normal modo is not that impressive so maybe I really am just shit regardless.

[Anonymous No.]

>>20750842
UFO really isn't either, people psych themselves out and exaggerate the difficulty of the UFO mechanic a lot. Now admittedly, it was the last game I cleared at the time, but I had no particular trouble with it compared to any other title; it fit right in with the rate of progress I'd been making.
I actually had more trouble wrapping my head around proper strategy for DDC, believe it or not. It all depends on how you play.

Being a "secondary" means being exposed only to secondary sources, ie, being into the Touhou doujin scene but not the official works themselves. So if you want to not be a secondary, read all the print works and see all the good endings, or as many of them as you can.
